Travel and Learn

Emma Weber

STA Travel is a worldwide company offering cheap flights, round the world trips and student travel. They posted this video in 2011 which shows the potential of learning new things whilst travelling.  Three guys were sent on an amazing trip around the world, and STA have crammed the most illuminating moments of learning into a short 1 minute video.

It just shows that the potential for learning is everywhere – be that whilst in a foreign country, perhaps learning a new cooking skill, learning how to dance, learning a new instrument, or even a new sport.

Take a look at the video here –
